Chris Deptula is a Lead Data Engineer with 12 years of experience building scalable data platforms and automation for enterprise customers from Colorado Springs. He has a strong track record modernizing ETL and analytics—architecting large-scale ingestion pipelines with Kafka, Spark, Sqoop and Hadoop, migrating data warehouses to AWS, and making data available via Hive, Impala, Redshift and Snowflake. Chris pairs hands-on Java and Pentaho expertise (including upstream contributions that added metadata injection to Pentaho Kettle step types) with practical SSO, REST API and support automation work that tangibly reduced support load and accelerated troubleshooting. He’s led distributed teams remotely, delivered GDPR-aware migrations and built near-real-time HDFS/Impala ingestion at scale, demonstrating both architectural vision and delivery focus. Comfortable across cloud and on-prem stacks, he favors metadata-driven solutions that turn operational complexity into repeatable, auditable pipelines.
